But today just isn't the best day to exercise.
What do you do when you're feeling sick?
I had a lot of gardening lined up today and I have done a tiny fraction.
Guess I should have taken some wipes with me for the shopping cart handles at... Read more

I'm tracking, again... but this time is a bit different.
They switched surgeons on me, thankfully. This new one is very up front and blunt and I appreciate that. Still no pre-ops so I decided to try the post op diet without the surgery until ... Read more

Turned down tacos. Yay, me! Even though yeah the corn makes me sick. I miss tacos.
Need to figure out how to make "nutrition notes" for other things than GERD. I do have those, but I would like to have something generalized or for tracking ... Read more

Ron's daughter's mother in law's mother is dying, and Ronnie spent half the day with her and her husband, just visiting and chatting. They're lovely people. It was kind of him. I missed him but he has to work anyway, tonight, and so he would hav... Read more

We had ours a day early, due to family conflicts with Ron's daughter. I'll still be cooking a turkey breast for us, today. It was very nice to go with her. I did eat turkey and green beans, and made a nice pumpkin mousse that was sugarless, grai... Read more

I've been invited to the stepdaughter's for Thanksgiving, but I'm not sure what to do, other than bring my own food, I guess?
Allergies are really bad lately. Sticking to organics helps.
Made a great celeric soup last night.
I did upload ... Read more

No, I've not forgotten SP, or any of you. I just am doing other things.
It's been a rocky 6 weeks or so. We had a great loss when Ron's brother died unexpectedly in an accident. He's sorely missed, and it's kind of taken a huge toll from al... Read more

Birds face many man-made mortal threats: windows, cats, habitat destruction, even climate change. And now, there's poison—in their bird seed.
The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company had been in the habit of applying banned pesticides to its wild bir... Read more

Bless and be thankful, indeed! It's a beautiful day. I love having a hummingbird feeder and a seed feeder hanging with some plants in front of my kitchen window. I can watch the birds while I work, and I usually find them watching me, in return!... Read more

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, those of you who posted...
I'm back. A bit differently, this time, but I'm back.
In April, I didn't think I would ever garden again. I was hardly able to move. I was really sure that I was dying. H... Read more

My apologies to those who have been worried about my not logging in and not posting on SP.
I just have been having migraines every day, sometimes more than one for several hours daily since the 13th of June. The pain has made my b/p go up ... Read more

Caught a virus last week. I guess at the GI doc's? Ronnie came down with it at the same time. Upper respiratory, and then GI... and a horrible headache. Mine turned into a migraine sometime around five or six days ago and I've been trying hard t... Read more

Ron just came in with the medications the doctor ordered for my nausea. He doesn't want me to keep on with the ginger as he feels it may be irritating the stomach more.
So I have two new drugs he wants me to take. One interferes with Dopam... Read more
